studs and stripes forever

Apparently this was the week I unearthed all of my JV samples because here’s another one. This shirt actually hung out in my closet for quite awhile b/c I never really had a great tank to wear under it (and I just feel like I need a tank b/c the flutter is a bit low and I’d rather see a tank than a bra!) but I finally found one during Old Navy’s Stuff and Save (20% off? Yes please!). I also found these shoes this week. They look just like my black flats from Target, don’t they? Well I fooled you then didn’t I?!

Ta da! They are studded on the heels! I mean, yes, technically, they are the same as my black flats but this version of them comes with a little more oomph. Here’s what really sold me on these flats (even though it was the reason I originally passed them up!): The studs are only visible with skirts/dresses/shorts. I thought this was a bad thing but then I realized that it’s kind of like getting the best of both worlds. There’s some flair for days when I’m showing them off, but when I just need a brown flat, they serve the purpose of a basic flat.

About the girl

I hate writing "about me's" but I know people like to know, so here goes:
I spent the last 2 years blogging at shenaniganist.wordpress.com and wanted to try a little something different so street cake was born. But never fear, I would never abandon the strict shenaniganist so you should totally check it out. (End shameless self-promotion).
I worked in the fashion industry in NYC for 2 years. I married my best friend (he'll be known here as Boo) in October 2009 and relocated to the Philly suburbs.
My style? Classic with a twist. I'm happiest in Chucks and a great cardigan.
My plans? Hoping that this blog will be a way to reinvent what's in my closet and inspire other people to do the same.
